Anyone here had any success with using these technologies in an
accounting/CPA environment? I have a 25 person CPA client that is
interested in doing something to support working remotely for a few
employees and also opening a 3 or 4 person branch office in the near
future. Lacerte and Quickbooks over a VPN just don't cut it. Some
items that make the project difficult...
1) They went paperless a couple of years ago and dual monitors for
everyone is important for workflow. So, we need good support of dual
monitors.
2) User rights. Everyone right now is local admin on machines. You can
thank intuit for making it near impossible to avoid.
3) Quickbooks (see intuit issue above) claims terminal services is not
supported in anything but their enterprise version. They are a CPA firm
and install multiple versions of quickbooks on workstations. Not sure
if using a VM, rather than TS gets around this.
4) Software/Printer installs. Almost every intuit and CCH product they
use comes with it's own PDF printer that must be installed. This
already causes the occasional printer driver problem on physical machines.
Anyone have any advice for what solutions would be right out or deserve
consideration? I just found out about Xen Desktop Express for 10 or
fewer users. That has piqued my interest. The competitor to that is
VMware's View, right?
Thanks for any help/knowledge you can share.
Bill
